An idea how to solve conflict on TGT

[vmax]

Hear me out ...

When 2 or more people get into fights here on the forum as it occurs weekly if not more why don't we invite, expect, compel them to attend a group meet up, BBQ, shoot , get together and fight it out?

We could have a fight card like UFC for each reunion/get together

We could have a shoot first, then a meal and then let the fights begin for the finale
Think of it as the bull riding is always last at the rodeo.

I think it would be marvelous and manly to let people who insist on fighting here throw hands in person and settle things like it should be.

Any thoughts on this?
Would side betting be allowed?
Would we need an EMT present?
Just some questions we might need to address

That would be awesome in 100° temps....

Side betting is a must.

No EMT, just a backhoe.

 

[innominate]

We can call it Festivus

We need good old fashioned hand to hand fighting to stop this bullshit

This is Texas Gun Talk, not fight talk. Dueling pistols at ten paces.

Wait. It wouldn't be limited to Marquis of Queensbury rules, would it? How boring! None of this dancing around a ring with 16-oz gloves crap. And if the backhoe is needed, the winner keeps the loser's means of transportation that got him there.

Not sure what we do about the loser when the backhoe isn't called for, though. If someone has broken appendages and a smashed jaw and nasal cavity, who drives him to the hospital? Screw that. If you can't walk or at least crawl away under your own power, you get the backhoe anyway. We might need a large parcel of land. Or, wait! A whole bunch of feral hogs and no backhoe...

Average age here is probably 65+....probably need an EMT at the reunion regardless.

The ones who know each other from meet-ups tend not to be the ones butting heads online. There's a few I regularly clash with here - never seen any of 'em at a meet-up.

That would work fine!

Replay the old west with Peacemakers @ 100 yds.

I learned at an early age and it still holds true.
Don't FK with an old man if you don't know him.
But yeah EMT and the number to 911 cuz I don't want to die in front of a bunch of old farts.

Naw; potentially over way too soon. And if not, there isn't a lot of entertainment value in watching two old guys continuing to miss each other with flintlock pistols. Especially considering--cataracts and all--that they might fire into the spectators.

I've already contacted Shiner Bock about securing the franchise for all "TGT Festivus" events. A few unarmed combatives matches would help sell more beer...
